BISHKEK, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Centerra Gold Inc CG.TO and the government of Kyrgyzstan have agreed to settle mutual lawsuits over environmental matters related to the Canadian company's Kumtor gold mine, the Central Asian state said in a statement on Tuesday.
Under the agreement, Toronto-based Centerra will contribute $50 million to an environmental fund and increase a so-called 'environmental payout' to $3 million annually, from $310,000, said the statement published on the government's website.
